Technical tip! For those of you that would like to save some money on the CAT and Linear connector at the back of your rig. If you have an old PS2 mouse laying around you can cut the old connector off and use that to switch your linier. Note that the terminal is not normally wired for use on the mouse so you will have to remove all the plastic around ps2 connector and solder a wire on to pin TX GND. Please see page 20 of owners manual. Works a charm. Good luck! 73 ZS2PA
Hi All, To get around the problem of not having all pins connected, I bought a 1.5m cable with the PS2 plug on both ends for $4. So now I have two 0.75 cables cheaper than I can buy the parts
